Are field crops refuge for woody invaders? Rainfall, crop type and management shaped tree invasion in croplands
(Elsevier Science, 2021-10)
Woody encroachment represents a global concern which is mostly studied in natural and semi-natural grasslands and savannas. Woody invasion is a growing phenomenon in agricultural landscapes, but it remains elusive how ...
Remote sensing and cropping practices: A review
(MDPI AG, 2018-01)
For agronomic, environmental, and economic reasons, the need for spatialized information about agricultural practices is expected to rapidly increase. In this context, we reviewed the literature on remote sensing for mapping ...
Crop type and management are key filtering factors of functional traits in the weed communities of regions with contrasting soils and climates
(Wiley, 2021-11)
Questions: Weed community composition responds to the interactions between environmental and management factors at different scales. The aim of this study was to disentangle the relative contributions of factors defining ...
Crop pollination management needs flower-visitor monitoring and target values
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-04)
Despite the crucial importance of biotic pollination for many crops, land managers rarely monitor the levels of crop pollination needed to guide farming decisions. The few existing pollination recommendations focus on a ...
Impacts of honeybee density on crop yield: A meta-analysis
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-02-03)
1. There is increasing recognition that pollination deficits are limiting crop yields world-wide. However, management strategies for optimal insect pollination are still unclear for most crops. Current management focuses ...

Sorgo-trigo ¿es viable?
(2014-12)
La secuencia sorgo-trigo es usada en los planteos mixtos regionales, pero habitualmente no se siembra trigo sobre los residuos frescos de sorgo, sino que se demora la siembra del siguiente cultivo. ¿A qué se debe esta ...
Is Pasture Cropping a Valid Weed Management Tool?
(MDPI, 2020-01)
The aim of the present work was to study the feasibility of pasture cropping under the Mediterranean conditions prevailing in central Spain and its potential as a weed management tool. Three cropping systems were assessed: ...
Crop management affects dry-milling quality of flint maize kernels
(Elsevier, 2011-05)
Dry-milling performance of maize (Zea mays, L.) kernels primarily depends on their hardness. The flint type is harder than the dent and semi-dent maize, yielding a higher proportion of big endosperm pieces in the mill. ...
